(...jumping out, rather unexpectedly!) You might be interested in an ongoing discussion that I and Grant Edwards are holding in this newsgroup on the subject "Best way of finding terminal width/height?". Thread summary: There's a function that Chuck Blake wrote for detecting the current terminal size, available here: http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/~cblake/cls/cls.py You'll only need the first two functions for this task (ioctl_GWINSZ and terminal_size). To monitor changes in window size, have a look at the signal module (in standard library). You can attach a monitor function to the signal signal.SIGWINCH, like so: signal.signal(signal.SIGWINCH, report_terminal_size_change) or, in context: ------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/python from cls import terminal_size current_terminal_size = terminal_size() _bTerminalSizeChanged = False def report_terminal_size_change(signum, frame): global _bTerminalSizeChanged _bTerminalSizeChanged = True def update_terminal_size(): global _bTerminalSizeChanged, current_terminal_size current_terminal_size = terminal_size() _bTerminalSizeChanged = False signal.signal(signal.SIGWINCH, report_terminal_size_change) while True: if _bTerminalSizeChanged: update_terminal_size() print current_terminal_size ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Take care! /Joel -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
